Time to stop for a breather...

Well.. the mcphail troop has come and gone. Ross and Melissa flew home yesterday after we travelled through Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We started in Stavanger, ferried up to Bergen, and then took the train over to Oslo. Bergen was my favourite, it was very beautiful and reminded me of home. We got to do some nice hiking there. Then we went over to Sweden, where we stayed on a Sheep farm in Karlstad- by far my favourite part of the trip so far, even though all my clothes now smell like sheep! It was a lot of fun there. Then we went to STockholm, and finally down to Copenhagen before returning to Amsterdam. From there, Ross and Melissa left me, and I spent the day in Amsterdam before taking the overnight bus to london- which seemed like an efficient way of transportation at the time. It started off okay, I managed to find the bus station easily which was my main concern. I got on the bus, and took a sleeping pill hoping to knock myself out for the whole ride, but no dice. Instead I ended up feeling nauseous and ridiculously tired at the same time. At around 3-4am I ended up falling asleep with my head almost between my knees, only to be woken up at 5 to go through customs, which took FOREVER. Then because they took forever, we missed our train through the chunnel so we had to wait an hour for the next one. Lets just say it wasnt my most restful night ever. Now Im in london, and I sat in the hostel for like 5 hours this morning reading and waiting for Di and Ali since I couldnt check into my room now. I had to resort to reading the Nicole Richie novel I am very ashamed to admit... Alison and Dianna leave tomorrow so I have to find some way to occupy myself all day... we'll see how that goes. Anyways, back to bader in a few days then off to amsterdam where the next journey begins!
